Okay day one. I've been fasting for about fourteen hours now. Last night I decided to take Rachel and the kids to the new sushi restaurant in town as kind of a kick-off for the fast. I love food. Food is an addiction for me. I eat any time I am struggling with difficult emotions. Food has a power and control over me that I don't want in my life any more. I'm asking for God to break the power and bondage eating has over me in this forty days. Father, cleanse my body of this sickness. I confess my addiction to eating as an escape from powerful emotions and situations I avoid. I accept your healing anointing on my life and for my body.
Ooh that felt good. :)
Hebrews 10:19 promises me, "So, friends, we can now - without hesitation - walk right up to God, into "the Holy Place." Jesus has cleared the way by the blood of his sacrifice, acting as our priest before God. The "curtain" into God's presence is his body." (The Message)
I cling to that promise right now. I will not hesitate to walk right up to God. I set aside my shame and condemnation. I am not perfect. I don't have all my ducks in a row. I have debt and other outstanding responsibilities. But today I accept God's invitation. I don't want to wait for things to get better before I spend time with my Daddy.

Jason Upton. A great way to start a fast. Jason Upton has an amazing anointing that encourages and challenges me.
